Thanks, Tony. I don't _think_ that firewalling or permissions are the
problem, as network reading and writing worked fine for me under Vim
6.4. The only thing that has changed is an upgrade to Vim 7. Honestly,
the "faux" errors on my Mandrake machine don't bother me; annoying,
perhaps, but despite the errors I can still read and write (for the
time being...). What troubles me is the behavior under Windows. I'm
locked behind Windows at work and have come to rely on Vim as a
reminder of saner times. :)
Incidentally, the installation of Ubuntu (where there are no netrw
errors) I mentioned is on the same machine, running (when I can get
away with it) under VMWare Player.
As you suggested, I'll take a look at the netrw code.
I'm pretty sure I already have the latest netrw installed: version 100
as found in the scripts repository.
Thanks again,
Marv

Are you by any chance running (on some machines but not others) behind a
firewall which prevents FTP writes? Or are you trying it over a
connection where you don't have write permission on the remote files
you're trying to save?
You might also look at the netrw code:
:view $VIMRUNTIME/plugin/netrwPlugin.vim
:view $VIMRUNTIME/autoload/netrw.vim
to try and see what may cause the message you mention to appear on your
system.
If nothing else avails, try downloading the latest version of the netrw
software from http://vim.sourceforge.net/scripts/script.php?script_id=1075
Best regards,
Tony.
